Yeah. A change of the blog’s skin, with a simple yet sleek black background since my relaxing sun picture went down for so many months and I did not do anything about it.

I have improvised a second round of IPP for myself, but this time I will say it is self placement. I had 4 calls from different companies; 1st is M1, 2nd Samsung (has nothing to do with the gf’s dad), 3rd Nokia and lastly Essential Venture Enterprise. So I had a few days to ponder and quickly make a choice as all wanted me to begin work soon.

So I sat down and thought about it;
1) M1 offers $8/hr = $72/day or $2160/mth
2) Samsung is a week end job offering $10/hr= $90/day and $720/mth and allowing me to take up week day job.
3) Nokia without a shout of a doubt was my favorite choice offering around $3000 if I perform well with commission
4) Then Essential called me, they are an event management company, I told them I was busy and will call them back, but apparently I did not. So one afternoon, when I was still asleep, the boss called me, told me to come down for interview and he will pay for my cab fare, I was like huh?, where in the world someone will offer such a thing. After discussing, it is a 5.5 days/week job offering just a plain $1,200.

Call me dumb or dumb’s bro dumber, but I choose the last job which pay the least. My reasons being that I have enough experience working in the mobile sales line for a couple of years on and off. And I did not like it because all promoters are Chinese speaking leaving me confuse with what they meant. And I wanted real hands on experience this time, something I can pick up along the way. I want to tell myself when I leave the company on 31st Oct that I have accomplished something.

My job scopes are handling 50 odd promoters for LG mobile and the number is growing rapidly when I took over after the previous guy in charge left. On Monday and Tuesday, I will have to do marketing report to be sent to LG weekly for all the sales figure the promoters obtained over the week end. I have to incorporate all the details I have from their 4 page time sheet each week and the report contains both qualitative and quantitative figure.
On Wednesday and Thursday, I will have to draft up the deployment list of where all this promoters will go on the week end. Damn this suck when u has a bunch of promoters who look or speaks like gangsters. On Saturday and Sunday I will have to check if they are there physically at the shop and whether is on time. For those sickening assholes that back out last min, I will rush to find a replacement. My boss will call me like every other min for updates of the situation. After work on Saturday, I will have to head down to certain locations to check on the promoters. At night, I will have to get the sales figure from all the promoters even when I’m going for a movie. So I’m like practically working everyday of the week. Shag but learning.
